...clear that the 21st century is about turning away from oil to alternate forms of energy," Nonaka, 52, told TIME shortly after her appointment as Sanyo CEO and chairwoman. "It's about sustainability, and Sanyo will be the solution provider for this new world." She dubbed her program "Think Gaia...
...Hills Bowl by Karim Rashid for Gaia&Gino New York City-based Rashid, who is half Egyptian, half English and Canadian-raised, designed this topographical treat for Turkish brand Gaia&Gino. That's some lineage. Modeled on Istanbul's seven hills, if inverted, it serves as a fruit bowl or one heck of a Jell-O mold. But then again, perhaps the second option might be going too far? www.gaiaandgino.com...
...Environment. Nuclear power's image makeover began when James Lovelock-the British scientist whose "Gaia" theory likens the Earth to a living organism-declared nuclear power "the only green solution" to the world's energy needs. The coal-fired power plants that generate 80% of Australia's electricity produce huge quantities of carbon dioxide, which bears much of the blame for global warming. Nuclear plants produce almost no CO2. According to the csiro, replacing three of Australia's 24 coal plants with nuclear ones would cut carbon emissions from power generation by almost...
...Provence, France Windmills and solar power are valuable sources of clean energy but clearly limited in their potential to meet soaring needs. In warning of catastrophic climate change, Time referred to the environmentalist James Lovelock and his notion of Earth as a living superorganism that he calls Gaia. But the story ignored his endorsement of nuclear power, about which he says, "There is at present no other safe, practical and economic substitute for the dangerous practice of burning carbon fuels." Christina Ritch London time's report painted an alarming picture of what will happen to our Planet Earth within...
...image of Earth as organism--famously dubbed Gaia by environmentalist James Lovelock-- has probably been overworked, but that's not to say the planet can't behave like a living thing, and these days, it's a living thing fighting a fever. From heat waves to storms to floods to fires to massive glacial melts, the global climate seems to be crashing around us. Scientists have been calling this shot for decades. This is precisely what they have been warning would happen if we continued pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping the heat that flows in from...
